About the knife

The Classic Ikon range is known for its clean look and comfortable feel in the hand. This utility knife follows the same approach, with a double bolster to help give it a well-balanced, secure feel during use. It’s a useful knife to keep close by when a larger chef’s knife feels too much and a paring knife feels too small.

The blade is made from high carbon stainless steel and forged for strength and consistency. Wüsthof states that its precision edge technology produces a blade that is 20% sharper with twice the edge retention compared with previous models.

Useful for

• Mincing shallots, onions and herbs
• Slicing vegetables
• Cutting small meats
• General prep work where a smaller blade is easier to handle

Care

Wüsthof advises that this knife should be washed by hand. As with most quality kitchen knives, drying it straight after washing will help keep it in good condition.
